Tips for Enjoying Independence Day in Modesto

  • Arrive Early: Popular events can get crowded. Plan to arrive early to secure a good spot.
  • Bring Essentials: Pack sunscreen, water, and snacks to stay comfortable throughout the day.
  • Follow Local Guidelines: Adhere to any local health and safety guidelines to ensure a safe celebration for everyone.
  • Keep Pets Safe and Calm: Fireworks and large crowds can stress out pets. Leave them at home in a safe, quiet space with background noise to help soothe them, and ensure they have up-to-date ID tags just in case.
  • Consider Ear Protection for Children: Fireworks can be loud and overwhelming for young children. Bring ear protection like noise-canceling headphones to ensure they enjoy the festivities without discomfort.
